Unfortunately the word doesn't seem to have gotten out. Not a word was said at Mass on Sunday, or Monday, or today and I just read this a few minutes before 2:00. Better late than never.

I first saw this appeal sixteen minutes to 1 on June 8. This is why the Vatican needs a total revamp of communications.
